I spotted the hotel I booked right after crossing one traffic light from Asahikawa Station – it's really close. Across from the hotel is a large Aeon mall, which is super convenient for shopping. On the first floor, there's a big fresh food supermarket, and around 8:30 PM, sushi and other items often go on half-price sale. Right next to the hotel is the liveliest local shopping street with all sorts of restaurants.
Because it was a weekend, a double room cost 800 RMB per night. For a more remote area in Hokkaido, that's quite expensive. On weekdays, it would be around 500 RMB, which is more reasonable. This hotel used to be called Eian International Hotel, but two months after booking, I suddenly received a text and email notification saying it had changed to KOKO Hotel.
One thing about this hotel that's a bit unreasonable is that they only clean the rooms once every three consecutive nights. You have to leave towels and trash bags outside your door yourself. Plus, starting this April, they've been charging guests a 300 yen accommodation tax. For two people staying three days, that's 1800 yen in accommodation tax. But they charge this fee while also simplifying the cleaning service – it's just speechless. On the plus side, the cleaning staff here are Japanese, unlike in bigger cities where you often find Nepalese, Indian, or Burmese staff."
"We decided on visiting Asahikawa last minute and Art Hotel was the only one that truly fitted what we looked for, the pleasant surprise was how they upgraded our room probably because we did a last minute booking and they gave us the triple room instead so we ended up with a pleasant surprise of extra space to pack our luggage’s!
The hotel is super clean and also a convenient stop point to visit outskirts as we stayed in Asahikawa but visited mountains, waterfalls & more!
Parking is a little complicated, it is 2 buildings away and under times, not a big issue as u just need to cross the road to get to it, simply pay 1000 Yen a day, they will stamp your carpark ticket everytime you enter and exit. The only troublesome part would be the loading and unloading of luggage otherwise it wasn’t much of an issue for us.
The city itself has nothing much but the hotel’s restaurant of western mix Chinese modern dining was really good! It is good enough to laze around the hotel & have your meals settled after a long trip.
We would definitely be back for sure!"
"Right by Asahikawa JR Station, just across the road. The street downstairs is full of restaurants, super convenient. A taxi to Asahikawa Airport is about 5000 yen.
The hotel gets really busy during peak hours, and the elevators can be very slow, stopping on every floor. You can skip the breakfast; it's not very good, and there's not much to eat. It costs 2200 yen if you buy it separately. You're better off finding a coffee shop downstairs or grabbing something from a convenience store instead."
"I 1st came to Hokkaido in 20th July 2019 and i stayed at JR Inn Asahikawa. This time i selected the same hotel again. Service is good, i told them abt my previous visit and wld like to stay in that room again. They were so nice to help arranged for the room when it was available on my 3rd night. Kudos to the team for trying! The wonderful thing about staying here is even when you have checked out, when the train is delayed/postponed you can easily walked back to the hotel and explain to the staff and sit at the lounge waiting for your next train."
"The location is excellent! Everything I wanted to visit was nearby, plus there are tons of great restaurants and shops in the area. It's also not far from Asahikawa JR station. Choosing this hotel for my first trip to Asahikawa was a smart decision. I'd definitely stay here again next time!"
"Due to high demand, our second night was in a smoking room, and it definitely had a strong odor. However, there was a spray bottle on the wall, and after using it, the air quality improved significantly. The hygiene was very good, and the room had amenities like a kettle and a fridge. Plus, it's very close to Asahikawa Station, which was great."
"I booked a Dormy Inn chain hotel, and the room was quite spacious. The rooftop hot spring was excellent, and they even had a sauna and ice cream. It was also pretty quiet at night. Oh, and after 9:30 PM, they offer complimentary cold noodles as a late-night snack, which is a nice touch."
"This is my second trip to Hokkaido after nine years, and I really loved Asahikawa the first time around, so I made sure to stay there this time, followed by three nights in Sapporo. I originally planned to book a JR hotel but ended up choosing the Y's Hotel across the street, and it was such a comfortable stay! The view was fantastic, and the breakfast buffet was much better than the one at the Sotetsu Fresa Inn where I stayed in Sapporo. Plus, there's an Aeon mall right across from the hotel, so food and drinks were never an issue! 👍👍👍"
"The room was really small and the hotel itself was quite old. There's a hot spring bathhouse on the basement level, which is convenient for showering, and toiletries can be picked up for free in the lobby, which is well-stocked. There's a self-service laundry room on the ground floor; washing and drying are separate, and the dryer isn't very efficient, so plan your laundry time accordingly. The restaurant is on the top floor with a beautiful view, and the breakfast is very rich with daily rotating dishes – they put a lot of effort into it. The location is great, not far from Asahikawa Station, and dining is very convenient with many restaurants to choose from."

Great
EE3547****It is said that it is a hotel that has been in business for more than 80 years. The interior design of the store is very exquisite, especially the hot spring area, which has an ancient but beautiful feeling. The bathrobe prepared in the room is folded with corners after ironing. It is very ritual to wear to the hot spring. The staff's service attitude is also very good and I feel the intention.
GGuest UserEverything was great. Proximity to the Asahikawa station was very useful and helpful, especially with all the snow. The amenities were nice. I especially liked the apple tea. Breakfast was an affordable nice buffet with plenty of options to choose from. Seating was easy to get.
YYi-Tzu ChenA good option for solo skiing in Asahikawa. After breakfast, head to the bus station. I personally think walking to the OMO7 bus stop (about 10 minutes) is better, as you can board directly. If that's closer, you can go to the station bus stop (7 minutes), but you'll have to wait for the bus. The advantage is you can leave later, but the disadvantage is that it might be full and you'll have to wait for an extra bus or sit in the aisle.
Free chicken curry rice is available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 7 PM.
New towels and toothbrushes are provided daily. Lotion can be picked up in the lobby on the first floor.
Delivery packages (ski equipment, etc.) can be collected.
The room is spacious for one person, and economical for two.
GGuest UserHotel's about 10 minutes walk by the track on pedestrian walkway from the station. There's a 7-11 across. Quiet area.
Great Onsen with jacuzzi and ishiburo (stone tub) as well as the usual hot and cold pools with sauna.
There's no water in the room but they give each guest a coin for their own drinks at the Onsen.
Every evening til 9pm, there's free sampling of sakes. Last night, there were five bottles and cos there are no staff, you can sample them unlimited! I think I had about 300ml total.
There's free soup but I'd skip them.
AAnonymous UserThe location was fantastic, walking distance from station and on the same block as the main shopping street.
This is a small Japanese apartment, so felt a little cramped using the bed and sofa bed. However all important amenities were provided. Great to use the kitchen and laundry facilities.
Management company was very professional and responsive.
Some dust and hairs were found so would like some more attention to the cleaning.
XXiaziyoushijieI've stayed at countless hotels during my trips to Japan, and even the old and small ones have always felt worth it. This is truly the first one that I genuinely regret. First, the location. On the map, it doesn't seem far from the JR station, but walking there is a real trek. Whether it's summer or winter, with or without luggage, the path itself is fine, but it's just so far and tiring! Second, the service is very inattentive. I booked a triple room, and I've never encountered a hotel that forgot to make up the third bed! Then, this is an old hotel that was acquired, renovated, and reopened. The overall impression is a bit like a botched renovation project – very makeshift, cobbled together, and carelessly done. They only renovated the parts they want you to see, and for the rest, they just put up a wooden board to cover it up. I booked this place specifically because of the Hoshino Resorts name, and I feel a bit deceived! Finally, the breakfast indeed tastes good, but the variety isn't extensive, though you can get full. If you don't book in advance, you can't add it on the day. If you're just going for the breakfast, I mean, where can't you find breakfast?! (The photos are what they want you to see; imagine the unseen parts yourself!)
KKeaidouderenyimenIt was alright. Since it was peak snow festival season and we were staying for a long time, this was the only hotel that had rooms available for consecutive nights. We initially booked for a week, then extended for three more days. Note that if you extend your stay, even if it's the same room type, you'll be reassigned to a different room and have to check out before checking back in, which is very inconvenient. This was something I'd never experienced before staying at a hotel in Japan, so this aspect of the experience wasn't great. The location wasn't very convenient either; the distance from the station was awkward—not far, but not close either. Walking around to Aeon Mall in the snow was quite tiring. Aside from that, everything was pretty good. The service was excellent, and the breakfast was quite plentiful. The roasted baby potatoes were delicious; I ate several every day.
LLeo@HKThis is a traditional, family-run inn that truly excels in hospitality and personal charm. I booked a room with a private bath; it was exceptionally spacious at nearly 40 square meters, and we had the entire floor to ourselves. Our private bath was conveniently located directly on the rooftop, situated at the highest point of the small hill, offering an amazing soaking experience. The family operates their own restaurant, and both breakfast and dinner were delightful. This was our children's favorite hotel of the entire trip, providing fantastic value for money. They even have a nostalgic 90s-era arcade! It's definitely a top choice for travelers on a self-drive trip. The owner and staff were incredibly warm, enthusiastic, and kind. A huge thank you once again for their wonderful hospitality!
GGuest UserWe stayed in a room with a good view of the farmers fields and distant forest, it’s a great place for walks and cycling. There’s a Seicomart convenience store nearby. The house is comfortable and roomy. The hosts are welcoming and friendly. My suggestion for improvement would be to replace the existing soft sagging mattress and not charge guests for usage of towels.
AAnonymous UserIt was convenient since it’s not that far from the station. It was clean and had a great stay for a night. There is also a convenience store nearby so it’s a plus especially if you nees anything or just wanted to buy some necessities.
